How Healthy Are Your Finances? Really?

Do you dream of an early retirement but stress about debt and a lack of superannuation savings?
Sadly, many Australians work their whole lives only to find they do not have enough to survive on come retirement.
The reason? A lack of financial planning and education during their working years.
Yet those who plan their finances wisely are able to accumulate wealth and live financially free, even on modest incomes.

So how healthy are your finances?
Take this quick financial health check to find out.

Q. Are you effectively structured to minimize tax?

“Can a people tax themeselves into prosperity?”
“Can a man stand in a bucket and lift himself up by the handle?”

– Winston Churchill

Many people lose tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands unnecessarily to tax due to poorly structured investments and superannuation. For instance, placing an investment into a self-managed super fund allows you to avoid capital gains tax and earnings tax during the pension phase, and significantly reduce earnings and capital gains taxes while you accumulate.

A company structure is taxed at a flat rate of 30% and can be used to trap losses against future earnings. Trusts can also slash your tax by distributing income to different family members. The good news is it really is possible to legally minimize, even eliminate your tax obligations with the right tax structure and professional advice.

Q. Are your assets protected from lawsuits and creditors?

“The secret to success is to own nothing, but control everything.”

– Nelson Rockefeller, Entrepreneur & Politician

The tragedy of today’s legal system means you become a target for law suits the moment you accumulate unprotected assets and savings. All it takes is a minor accident or financial dispute and your home, your investments, even your superannuation could be at risk if a lawyer discovers they are unprotected. Even if you defend a lawsuit and win, it could still cost you tens of thousands in legal fees, not to mention loss of reputation and the high degrees of stress and anxiety that come with it.

One of the secrets of the wealthy is to protect your assets through trusts and company structures so your wealth is untouchable. Thankfully it’s possible to shield your wealth from lawsuits and creditors with the right structure and professional assistance.

Q. Do your finances suffer from emotional investing?

“If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your finances.”

– Warren Buffet, Business Magnate & Super Investor

Research shows investors have a knack for getting caught up in media hype or fear and buy or sell investments near the peaks and valleys of a market. For example, a money flow analysis of mutual funds between 1988 through to 2009 found the greatest money flows occurred near the peaks and valleys of a market. Investors generally pulled their money in greater numbers after a market hit bottom, then reinvested after the market had moved near the peak.

Emotional investing tends to magnify volatility and your investments suffer as a result.
If you’ve ever bought or sold an investment because of a media report or so-called insider tip, you could be an emotional investor. The good news is you can conquer emotional investing with consistent savings, detailed analysis and financial education.

Q. Do you have a financial plan created with professional assistance?

“Hope is not a financial plan.”

– Ric Edelman, Financial Commentator & Author

No decision is harder – or has higher stakes – than how you manage your finances NOW to create your future.

Yet a Mortgage Choice’s 2014 Money Survey found 9 out of 10 of Australians (89.4%) do not have a financial plan created by a financial planner.

Another study by the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) and Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) found twice as many Australians (41%) turn to friends and family for financial advice compared to a financial planner (just 23%). Yet those who work with a financial planner generally feel better prepared to achieve their financial goals. The good news is you can attend one of our free financial education seminars and hear expert advice on how to make your money work harder for you.

Q. Do you have an investment portfolio that can support you in retirement?

“Leverage is the reason some people become rich and others do not.”

– Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad Author

According to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia’s Retirement Standard (ASFA), you need $545,000 to retire comfortably as an individual and $640,000 as a couple plus own your own home.

However, these figures
may be misleading for four reasons.

Firstly, these figures are based on an annual income of $42,893 for singles and $58,922 for couples. Yet global economic turmoil has resulted in a dramatic slide in interest rates and share market returns.

For instance, a 5-year term deposit paid 7.25 per cent in August 2010 yet offers just to 3.2 per cent today. Lower returns mean you need more capital.

Secondly, your nest egg has to last much longer. A 65-year-old female reportedly has a 50 per cent chance of living until she is 91. A 65-year-old male has a similar chance of living until he is 88.

Yet in 1956 the average lifespan was just 67. The longer you live, the more money you need to sustain your lifestyle.

Thirdly, this figure doesn’t factor in inflation. A financial method known as ‘the rule of 72’ helps you understand the impact of inflation. You simply divide 72 by the rate of inflation to calculate how many years it will take for that figure to double.

Inflation has averaged roughly 5% a year. This means the amount you need to live on comfortably in retirement will double every 14.4 years (72/5 = 14.4) and double roughly one and a half times during your retirement.

An Australian Financial review article recently reported a figure of $1 million in retirement assets per person may be more realistic for those wanting to maintain their lifestyles. Furthermore, the most realistic way for ordinary Australian’s to create this kind of wealth is leveraged investing during your working years.

Is the end of the pension nigh?

Australia faces big economic challenges ahead and the pension could be under pressure.
Thankfully there are many tools and strategies at your disposal able to create the wealth you need and it’s never too late to start.

Announcing the ‘Way Of the Wealthy’ Educational Seminars. Learn Strategies of The Rich To Grow & Protect Your Wealth

Benjamin Franklin once said an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. When you are financially educated, you feel empowered. Decisions aren’t made for you, but rather with you. Your path becomes clearer. You can spot the pitfalls and sharks. You become excited by your finances, not stressed by it.

On the flip side the cost of financial education – that is being bad with money – are equally apparent. Those with minimal or even non-existent financial educations borrow more, do not invest, have trouble with debt and inevitably end up with a far lower standard of living than was otherwise achievable. If you are uncertain about your financial future and would like to learn how to pay off your debt and create financial freedom for you and your loved ones, you are invited to attend Fairchild Group’s financial education seminar.

Unlike many financial advisory services, we are not product driven. We have no associations with property developers or fund managers. We are strategy focused based on your individual risk profile and investment objectives.

We are federally licensed to provide financial services by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) and therefore bound by strict financial regulation relating to fairness and accountability.

We have been helping everyday people improve their wealth and lifestyle for over 20 years. Our clients range from ordinary mums and dads to celebrities and high net worth investors.

What NRL Superstar Willie Mason Says About Fairchild Group

“I’m coming to the end of my career I suppose, I have two or three years probably left in me. I’ve got a few investment properties. The way that Fairchild proposed everything and set it all up, it was too easy.

Dealing with Fairchild is a breath of fresh air because there were no lies or anything like that. It was straight up. They just showed us all the figures… and it was pretty easy.

With the place I am investing in, I was surprised at the amount of research that went in.

I have been very impressed by Fairchild, the way they handle their business and the way that they proposed it to me. Fairchild, they know what they are doing.”

“Dealing with Fairchild is a breath of fresh air because there were no lies” – Willie Mason

“We were overwhelmed to discover we were on track to only having enough to retire for about ten years.”

“They understand the banks, property, the whole lot. Every aspect of investing, they know.”

The tools and strategies John shares are time-tested and immediately applicable if you want to achieve your financial goals sooner.

Why You Should Attend
According To Robert Kiyosaki

Fairchild CEO John Hanna often talks about the one key lesson he learned while having the privilege to study under ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ founder, Robert Kiyosaki. During their conversations, Robert told John if you want to learn how to be successful in anything, you need to learn how to stay ‘above the line’. Being ‘above the line’ means taking 100% responsibility for everything that happens to you.

So if you want to create a better financial future, you need to take 100% responsibility of your financial literacy and the positive action you need to achieve it. You are responsible for your own life. No-one else can make the difference except you.

You Can Sit On Your Hands And Hope For The Best, Or Take A Positive Step And Make it Happen.

Many people sit on their hands and hope their future is going to change. However, being inactive and taking no action is not going to change your circumstances in the long-term. The first and most important step to a better future is to lift your financial education.

Join us at this financial education seminar and see where your finances really stand. You will also learn strategies of the wealthy to creating passive income and building more wealth wisely. Seats are complimentary — can’t imagine this would be a waste, can you?

How did you enjoy the seminar?

“Very informative. He made it sound very easy to make some financial changes and easy to feel confident about my future and about having extra money. We all need it and we don’t always want to work until we are 70 or 67 like the government wants us to, that’s why I came tonight.”

What was the best lesson you took from the seminar?

“There was a raffle where a man won 100 dollars and John asked what are you going to do with that? The guy was stuck for words when John added read the first chapter of my book and save it. That’s what we have to do save and stop spending more money. I think the way John puts together the seminar and shows the cycle that things run in such as buying and selling property was great. I came in a little late so I didn’t catch the whole seminar; however, I got the book and started reading through it and there are a lot of good tips in there.”
